Another dotfiles repository

A few days weeks I got a MacBook Air as secondary machine. Since its SSD is smaller than my main Mac I couldn’t use Time Machine. It was definitely a good time to finally create my dotfiles repository. My repository is based in webpro/dotfiles (you may want to check it out his repo to understand this one if you feel lost).

How to use it?

  • Make sure that you have an updated macOS and Command Line Tools for Xcode: sudo softwareupdate -i -a && xcode-select --install
  • Clone the repo in your home directory: cd ~ & git clone git@github.com:leonardofaria/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
  • Run ./install.sh
